Speaking of the Tiffin accident and the
dangers from the present method of heating
cars, Chauncy M. Depew of the New York
Central railroad, said he supposed there had
been 5000 devices to take the place of stoves
In railroad cars, or go guard them so that
their contents will not be scattered about the
car in case of disaster, but not one of them is
practicable. The trouble of heating the cars
by steam from the engine is that no engine
pulling train of dozen or fourteen cars
can supply steam enough for the purpose
and have enough to spare to heat the cars.
The great desideratum is source of heat
for each car without the use of fire, and the
man who can furnish it is certain Of for
tune. The railroad managers are quite as
anxious on the subject as the public, and
have made great many experiments with
as yet no satisfactory results.

1t may be that the opposition to pension
ing Gen. Logan widow was made reluctant
~ and purely from sense of duty, but the
fact that it came entirely from the South
makes it little suspicious, to say the least.
On its merits the case appealed just as
strongly to the country as that of Gen. Han
cock, where no opposition was raised.

AN EDIFYING SPECTACLE.

The spectacle of a bright good woman in
the Senate would be an edifying one. and
Mary Logan's influence in the Senate would
be as salutary as it would be powerful; bet

ling effect which the elevation of this repre-

Of its worthy womanhood, and to confer a
